The opinion tooltip

Opinion is an indicator of how much a character likes another. Characters with high opinion of you will accept more requests and generally show more loyalty. Characters with low opinion may join factions or plots against you.

Opinion is affected by a variety of factors, everything from traits to succession law. Opinions, along with their reasons, are fully visible to players in a tooltip.

Both the min and max percentages are set by laws. Only vassals above (min levies) / (max levies) will provide more than the minimum. For example, with laws setting min levies to 20% and max levies to 60%, vassals with opinion above 33 will provide more than 20%.

Direct de jure liege title is held by liege, and does not contain the liege's capital

Direct de jure vassal title is held by liege

Desires control of <title>

"One of your vassals has, as their primary title, a title that is my direct de jure vassal"

A vassal transfer will fix this and also add "vassal transfer: +10" for 10 years

Too many held elector titles (more than one de jure duchy, or more than one de jure kingdom)

Ambition opinion is also active against a liege while a character is plotting to fabricate a claim on the liege's title. If a vassal is "-25 Ambitious" toward you and shows no reason to be, they are probably using this plot!
